Ride or Die follows best friends Debbie Claybourne and Judith Burton who thought they knew everything about each other, except Judith turns out to be an international assassin. When a mysterious figure emerges from Judith’s past and a hit goes horribly wrong, both of their worlds are turned upside down as they’re forced to go on the run together. It’s a race against time and a road trip across Europe, with law enforcement, highly trained assassins, and some very dangerous criminals at their heels.

Amber Dowling Globe and Mail 3d
Hannah Waddingham and Octavia Spencer teaming up for an action series may not have been on your 2026 bingo card, but Ride or Die is also the laugh you didn’t know you needed. Go to Full Review Anita Singh Daily Telegraph (UK) 4d
4/5
It feels very British and slightly naff. Don’t expect to be gripped by the plot. Ride or Die is to be enjoyed for its two central performances and the chemistry between them. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 4d
B-
Overall, this is popcorn entertainment, safely made for the masses, but Waddingham is such a joy to watch and Spencer creates an ideal, idiosyncratic, Type-A foil. Go to Full Review Srijoni Rudra Digital Mafia Talkies 1h

6/10
It’s overly familiar, but not to a point of holding the audience in contempt or delivering something cheap. Go to Full Review Sabrina Barr metro.co.uk 2d
4/5
The series might veer into clichés every now and then, but who cares? It’s rip-roaring fun, and fans will find it hard to resist bingeing it all in one go. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robert B @RT57877220 3h One of the best productions ever presented on Amazon Prime See more Larry S @Movieack 3h It's very entertaining. Hannah waddingham is very fun to watch. See more Tom W @TexOracle 3h Pass on DEI bent roles in action combat media. Not even funny anymore, just absurd indoctrination and checking DEI boxes. Half of Hollywood got the memo, but too many like this mess are still taking a list of characters and character roles, and pulling out the DEI dial to fill them inverted by gender and race quotas that make zero sense to undermine the entire project into failure. See more Chas P @RT06685563 4h It is predictable, lazy and a cheap knock off of a James Bond movie. I can't believe the popcorn meter is as high as it is... It was laughably bad - someone must be paying to write good reviews. It's terrible! See more Bonginkosi Liyo M @RT75764196 4h Yes, it's an absolute must-watch! This series is one of my all-time favorites. It's hilarious, and I love how it blends romance with comedy and very less nudity. It has plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, emotional challenges, and heartwarming scenes that highlight what true friendship really means—being there for each other through thick and thin. It's definitely a ride-or-die kind of friendship, which makes the story even more enjoyable. This TV series it is 1000/10. Well done keep up the good work. It deserves a second season as the ending shows that the is still more to keep us on our screens 😊. Can't wait for more. See more Jamie S @JamieChoo 4h Really enjoying it. It started off kind of slow, but I’m at episode six and totally hooked. See more Read all reviews
